And heres the image I used. On a purely copying level did I manage to make something good? Im not asking if what I drew itself was good, but did I make it similarly enough to pic related?

[spoiler]Also yes I didnt color her clothes and had, I felt that leaving just the blood would give a better effect. [/spoiler]

There's actually a thread about this already:

Yes

>but I always feel like Im just cheating
You cannot draw what you do not know. Always use reference.

>>I do it by eye
Try harder. Your copy doesn't look anything like the reference. Put some time in it.

Im surprised someone bothered to reply after so long a time.

>Your copy doesn't look anything like the reference. Put some time in it.

I drew it over a couple days. Not all at once, more like 3 or 4 hours in total. Mind specifying anything in particular?
